Schlesinger, Arthur M., Jr. – American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, 1991
The cult of ethnicity in general and the Afrocentric campaign in particular do not bode well for U.S. education or for the future of the country. The debate over ethnocentric curricula is traced. Commentaries by R. Walters and D. D'Souza elaborate on issues of multicultural education. (SLD)
